I only want to apply one directional force onto one side of gamma and see how the whole system behaves. But the problem I'm facing is how do I specify this in my mdp file.

Caveat: I have never used the enforced rotation feature.

But in reading the manual, the fixed axis option says it is applying a torque to 
the specified atoms relative to an axis.  Isn't this exactly what you want? 
It's not like attaching a spring between groups A and B, you're rotating group A 
relative to an axis that you specify.
